Attorneys Help Hurricane Victims

The toll-free Disaster Legal Services hotline for victims of Hurricane Matthew in North Carolina has served its purpose admirably. Nearly 200 attorneys volunteered their time and expertise to assist some 300 victims in counties impacted by this historical storm.

Effective today, Feb. 28, 2017, the hotline has been closed. Hurricane Matthew disaster calls are now being handled through Legal Aid of North Carolina’s toll-free central intake number, (866) 219-5262.

The hotline was supported by the North Carolina Bar Association in partnership with Legal Aid of North Carolina, the American Bar Association and FEMA.
